Belgian dentist accused of social fraud for allowing unqualified staff to perform procedures

AD22 September · 12:301 day ago

A Belgian dentist is suspected of social fraud after two employees without required diplomas or RIZIV numbers performed anesthesia and root canal treatments billed under his license. The workers reported their employer to police in August due to threats and being forced to conduct unauthorized procedures. Investigations revealed potential illegal financial gains exceeding €188,000 in 2021, leading to house searches and interrogations in several Belgian towns before suspects were released pending further inquiry.
